This would force them to create more line holders and get rid of the ridiculous 35% reserve level that you see in some bid statuses. Anyone else who wants to fly more than 84 hours can just pick up in DOTC.
This is my number one issue with the current contract, and somehow APA managed to make it worse. Unbelievable.
He has gotten this wrong before and then disappeared when I asked him how the company assigns 90+ hour lines.
I agree that this is a huge issue.
We had a nice opportunity to lower the LCW during covid. Why was the union so against doing it when it was seemingly a perfect solution at many other shops? Hint: Starts with an I and ends with MAX.
